Lt. Gov. Juliana Stratton is hoping to bring some of Gov. JB Pritzker ’s legislative victories to the U.S. Senate as her top initiatives if she’s elected next year.
Stratton released her first policy platform this week. It details her positions on health care, cost of living, housing and economic issues. In a video statement explaining her vision, Stratton pointed to her record as lieutenant governor.
“Here in Illinois, we’ve raised the minimum wage, created thousands of new jobs, brought down the cost of prescription drugs and made child care more affordable,” Stratton said in the video. “And now I’m taking that blueprint to Washington, D.C.”
Her 29-point agenda includes several policies Pritzker’s administration has passed through the legislature since taking office in 2019.
